Hi there,
Installing unrealircd I've got an error :
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: in `/home/unrealircd/unrealircd-4.2.4.1':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
A mistake of my fault ?
Could you help me please ?
Thank you.

You need to install a C compiler.
If, for example, you are on Debian or Ubuntu then you can install it with:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev

You need a compiler and various other utilities.
On Debian/Ubuntu:
Code: Select all
sudo apt install build-essential libssl-dev
On CentOS8/Fedora/RedHat8:
Code: Select all
sudo dnf install gcc openssl-devel
Friendly Note:
While this forum is here to help install Unrealircd, it's very helpful to yourself if you try to google the error messages first. You'll get a faster response and if you cannot find the answer via google, then of course ask here. For example: I googled this error for you and google found the correct answer in 0.59 seconds.

Thank you very much but english is not my own language, and I don't know debian. So simply on web search engine, it's difficult for me, so I preffer ask for friendly help if possible.
You gave me two solutions :
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev
or
sudo apt install build-essential libssl-dev
which one do I've to use ? What'is the difference betweem thems ?
Do I've to do this from root account, or from the account I created for install unrealircd and where I installed unrealircd ?
Thank you.

apt and apt-get are quite the same, apt is simpliest to use (preconfigured options). You can have a small explanation at
https://itsfoss.com/apt-vs-apt-get-difference/
And when you see a "sudo" starting command, you don't have to be root.
"sudo" is used to execute a command with a privilege escaladation. If you want to execute directly with user root, you don't need the sudo command.

The you don't need the "sudo apt ..." solution. Which OS are you using?

No problem at all. I was just trying to save you a little time.
